    They are saying, “women dumb, lololol!” They’re literally just petty children in adult bodies. There is no deeper point.

      This. It’s all a giant, “Nuh-uh, you!”

      They create a specious argument, present it as a straw man of “what democrats want,” and then ridicule it as if they didn’t make the whole thing up themselves.

      It’s dumb as shit, but it’s all on purpose. These people are ivy League lawyers who took speech and debate. They know what a fallacy is, they just choose to use it for its effectiveness in mass psychology rather than actually governing or leading.

        Yep. The leaders use it as petty distraction, and their petty followers eat it up while they have their pockets picked clean.
